Fractional CMO, CTO, CRO, and Head of AI for SMBs and scaling teams. Hands on the work, eyes on the strategy, on retainer for 10 to 40 hours per week. Most companies need a senior operator more than another agency.
Most fractional services give you a coach. We give you an operator who actually does the work alongside the strategy. Hands on the keyboard when needed.

Most fractional services give you a coach who reviews your team’s work. We give you a senior operator who does the work alongside your team when the lever requires senior touch. Strategy decoupled from execution is just talking.
Operating across recessions, recoveries, every algorithm shift, every platform death, every shiny new channel. The plays that worked in 2014 do not work now. We know which ones do, which ones are about to stop, and which ones are noise.
Your fractional shows up where the work happens. Real accountability, real visibility, real shipped work. Not weekly office hours and a Friday slide.
Each of our fractionals carries 2 to 4 clients at a time, not 10. Real time on your business, real headspace for your problems, real mind-share when you need a 9pm call.
When your fractional CMO also has the team running your SEO, your paid, your content, your AI, the loop closes. Strategy ships because the people who execute it report into the same operator who set it. The opposite of agencies fighting fractionals fighting in-house teams.
The questions every founder and CEO asks us before bringing in a fractional. We answer them straight, no consultant fog, no hourly-rate shuffle.
6 months. Senior fractional work compounds. The first month is embedding and quick wins. The second is real shipped levers. The third is org-level shifts. Anything shorter is a retainer dressed as a fractional, not the real thing.
10 to 30 hours per week depending on the role and the stage. Most engagements start at 15 hours per week and adjust up or down after the first month based on what the work actually requires.
Yes. Fractional means one named senior operator who knows your business, your team, your numbers. Not a rotating bench of strategists. If your fractional ever needs to transition, we run a real handover with overlap.
Yes. Many of our fractional engagements end with the company hiring a full-time CMO, CTO, CRO, or Head of AI to take the seat. Your fractional helps define the role, build the hiring loop, interview candidates, and onboard the hire. Then steps out cleanly.
Outcomes specific to the role. For a fractional CMO: pipeline, share-of-voice, channel ROI. For a fractional CTO: shipped architecture, team velocity, system reliability. For a fractional CRO: revenue, retention, GTM efficiency. For a fractional Head of AI: production AI systems, optimization wins, cost discipline. Plain English reporting, monthly board-prep packet.
When it makes sense. Your fractional CMO can pull in our SEO, paid, content, AI, or website teams when the strategy needs execution at scale. The fractional sets the roadmap. The team executes. You can also keep your existing in-house team or other vendors and the fractional integrates into that mix. Either way works.
No. A coach reviews your team’s work and gives feedback. A fractional ships the work alongside your team when the lever requires senior touch. Hands on the keyboard. Decisions made. Hires made. Architecture shipped. Most weeks, more time spent doing than reviewing.
Custom by scope. Fractional engagements typically run $8K to $25K per month depending on hours per week and seniority of the role. A fractional CMO at 15 hours per week is roughly $10K to $14K. A fractional Head of AI at 20 hours per week is roughly $12K to $18K. Pricing happens after a 30-minute scoping call. No public price list.
